I haven't done this in a little while, but I used to do it a few times a week.- Some kind of flatbread bake for a little bit with a tray of "Mediterainian veg" chopped up thin.
- Covered on some pasta sauce out of a jar, jazzed up how you like it.
- Put the veg, a packet of mixed salami/ham/whatever and bufferlow motzerella on top of the sauce layer.... BUT IMPORTANT, every individual item needs to have exposed bits and non exposed bits. So you get crunchy bits of everything and soft bits of everything.
- Bake'n'enjoy.

I did.People were lovely.
And contrary to expectations, Stunned and Jeff were both very gentlemanly and walked me back to my taxi. They even made sure the driver wasn't a psychotic rapist. Though in hindsight, it might have been a bit of overkill to grab him by the throat and scream "are you chompy?"...
Shame you couldn't make it.

One asteroid is about 200km across and made of Nickle and Iron.It's enough Iron to cover current worldwide usage for over a million years.
And it's just sitting there being all smug and unmined.

They haven't said, they're doing a press thingy tomorrow. Maybe they've got an idea, maybe they're just setting up a competition like the X prize, who knows?

Magnetic raking is actually a good contender for asteroid mining. True fact.(, Mon 23 Apr 2012, 14:25, Reply)

It would pick up the dust and gravel that contains any magnetic metals. so it would pick up a whole bunch of stuff mixed together but it would have an above average metal content.

yeah but nickel is only weakly magnetic at room temperatureso they're gonna need a hella strong magnet

It's not sitting there as pure nickle, it'll be a mixture of a bunch of Ores clumped togetherwhich may or may not be magnetic.
Also you're forgetting that this will be in extremly low gravity, which means you don't need a lot of pull to get them off the surface.
